Abstract

Objective: This study evaluated the KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE of TEHRAN northwestern young population toward ECSTASY use and its consequences.Method: In this descriptive, analytical-cross-sectional study, 400 young (247 males, 153 females) persons residing in northwestern districts of TEHRAN were assessed by a demographic and KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE and behavior questionnaire. They were selected via the multi-stage random sampling. The data were analyzed through the descriptive statistic methods and X2.Findings: 41% of samples had good KNOWLEDGE, 50% had moderate KNOWLEDGE and 9% had low KNOWLEDGE. 32% of samples had good ATTITUDE, 44% had moderate ATTITUDE and 24% had bad ATTITUDE. 26% of respondents have reported that they have used the ECSTASY tablets. One important finding is that 31% of ECSTASY users are also addicted to other kinds of narcotics. 44.9% of males and 35.3% of females were moderately aware of the dangerous outcomes of the ECSTASY use. 25.9% of males and 20.3% of females regarded the ECSTASY use a bad and dangerous act. In this study there was a significant relationship between ATTITUDE and gender (p=0.035). Also there was a significant relationship between ECSTASY use and gender (p<0.001) and a notable relationship between ECSTASY use and education (p= 0.008).Results: A considerable percent of respondents was not aware of the dangerous outcomes of the ECSTASY and did not show the expected negative ATTITUDE toward this drug and a vast percentage of them had used the drug.
